The Global Domain Identity Verification API returns comprehensive domain information, including domain age, creation date, expiration date, last updated date, and complete WHOIS records. This data helps users assess the legitimacy and history of a domain.
Key fields in the response include "domain_age," "creation_date," "expiration_date," "last_updated," and "whois_records." Each field provides essential insights into the domain's history and status.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with each key representing a specific attribute of the domain. This organization allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
The endpoint provides information such as domain age, creation and expiration dates, last updated date, and full WHOIS records. This data is crucial for evaluating domain legitimacy and ownership history.
The primary parameter for the endpoint is the domain name (URL) you wish to query. Ensure the domain is correctly formatted (e.g., example.com) to receive accurate results.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from reliable WHOIS databases and registrars. The API employs quality checks to ensure the information reflects the most current domain status.
Typical use cases include cybersecurity assessments, digital marketing strategies, brand monitoring, domain acquisition analysis, and competitive research. This data helps users make informed decisions regarding domains.
Users can analyze the returned data to identify domain legitimacy, track ownership changes, assess domain age for SEO purposes, and inform decisions on domain purchases or brand strategies.
The API provides detailed WHOIS information, including registrant contact details, registrar information, and domain status. This data helps users verify ownership and understand the domain's registration context.
The API currently supports querying one domain per request. For multiple domains, you will need to make separate requests for each domain name to retrieve their respective details.
The "last_updated" field indicates the most recent date when the domain's registration details were modified. This information is crucial for assessing the currency of the domain's ownership and status.
If the API returns incomplete data, it may be due to privacy settings or restrictions from the domain registrar. You can try querying a different domain or check the WHOIS database directly for more information.
The API can query most publicly registered domains. However, certain domains may have privacy protection enabled, which can limit the availability of specific WHOIS details.
Domain age can be used to assess the credibility of a website; older domains are often seen as more trustworthy. This information can inform SEO strategies and help identify potential risks in domain acquisitions.
The "domain_status" field indicates the current state of the domain, such as whether it is active, expired, or on hold. Understanding this status is essential for evaluating the domain's usability and ownership rights.
For domains with privacy protection, the API may return limited WHOIS information, omitting personal details of the registrant. Users should be aware that privacy settings can affect the completeness of the data retrieved.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit' response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it's important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
